While the asteroid is traveling too far to pose any risk to the Earth, a possible impact event with it could become a worldwide catastrophe.

idk, maybe use units of famous mountains for asteroids instead of rodents? an asteroid a quarter the size of mt everest, for example.
yeah, people may not like SI units as much as i do but that doesn’t mean whatever you pick is an improvement.
I don’t know how big mount Everest is. How big a mountain is is even ill defined in geography.
They probably should have used house cats, but capybaras are unique, and current journalism is about “viral” attention.
I also hope you don’t think that 1k capybaras are one quarter the size of Everest.
Aside: SI units are amazing. Just only necessary for scientific use (and legal). On a day to day basis, you need to communicate. That’s the purpose.
i only have had outdoor cats so the house cat unit is meaningless to me. there really should be standardized international unit that everyone agrees to measure things in. using a house cat is as good as using King Charles forearm
Lol. :)
Anything that gets measured in housecats doesn’t need 12 digits of precision.
Forearms are cubits. That’s also a great unit of measurement if you don’t need precision.
